Hello Kitty Knapsack

I come home from work, and see that my wife had taken the kids to the mall(never a good idea to let them go by themselves), so my daughter shows me her pretty Hello Kitty knapsack she got for school, look Ta, it even comes with a Hello kitty lunch bag, and a Hello Kitty wallet. My wife turns to me and says don`t even ask how much? I asked her you could`nt control her that you had to spend $40.00 on that, it was`nt her, it was the guy in the kiosk that suckered me into it. I was not happy.

The night continued with a Delicious supper made the wife, and then she had a wedding in Monsey. Was very happy for her to go, she was supposed to meet alot of friends that she has not seen in a while. Since I was home myself with the kids I started out by giving the kids baths, putting them in the carriage and going for a 1 and a half hour walk. It was nice, every few minutes the older one(3 years old), got out and wanted to walk, we went to a park for a little bit, but there were way to many fly`s and bugs, so we had to leave. When we got home i was to lazy to walk all the way up to our third floor apartment, so just opted to hang out on the grass outside for a while. Kids had fun, it was nice.

We went upstairs, as soon as we walked in the door, I get a phone call from my wife, she did not sound right, I asked if everything is OK, she said yes, BUT, you can just imagine how fast my heart was beating. So what`s the but? I should not be driving at night by myself, She says, I`m so tired, and can`t keep my eyes opened, she promised to call me if she is to tired to drive home herself, don`t know what I would have done, but I`m sure I would have been able to make some sort of an arrangement.

Now it`s time to start with bed time, so thankfully  the kids were already in PJ`s so that worked out well. The older one went straight to bed. The younger(10 months)felt a little feverish, so gave her some Motrin, a bottle, and put her to bed as well. I sat down to finish up an episode of master chef, continued on to Americas Got Talent, and then was just fiddling around online, when I did a search for something, a certain video came up, which I should not have watched, it`s been a while now since I`ve been into this stuff, and was really proud that I stopped, but my yetzer hora just got to the better of me. I started watching for about two and a half minutes, but thankfully stopped, I shut down the computer went to the other room so I can Daven Mariv, and started cleaning up the apartment.

Thinking about it now, I`ve been so good for so long, I can`t believe I got back into it, especially in Elul. I hope it was a one time thing, and should not have this yetzer hora, again.

Anybody out there battle this battle as well, how do I overcome these tavous?

Overall I think it was a great night for everyone else, except my run in, and my daughter I think went to sleep the happiest of us all, with her Hello Kitty knapsack.
